故事发生在1660年的法国，国王路易（理查德·查伯兰 Richard Chamberlain 饰）整日沉湎于酒色之中，无心朝政，使臣民们生活在水深火热之中。路易有一个孪生弟弟名为菲利普（理查德·查伯兰 Richard Chamberlain 饰），史书中记载的菲利普刚刚出生便已夭折，可实际上，他被偷偷送往阿尔卑斯山的一个庄园中，隐姓埋名，生长在此。 　　国王的昏庸让内务大臣科贝尔（拉尔夫·理查德森 Ralph Richardson 饰）和火枪手队长达达尼昂（路易斯·乔丹 Louis Jourdan 饰）感到大为不满，他们决定找到菲利普，扶持他推翻哥哥的统治，登上王位。贪婪的财政大臣富凯（帕特里克·麦高汉 Patrick McGoohan 饰）早先一步找到了菲利普，他和国王一起设计，给菲利普带上铁面，投入了深牢之中。 Paris is starving, but the King of France is more interested in money and bedding women. When a young soldier dies for the sake of a shag, Aramis, Athos and Porthos band together with a plan to replace the king. Unknown to many, there is a 2nd king, a twin, hidden at birth, then imprisoned for 6 years behind an iron mask. All that remains now is D'Artagnan, will he stand against his long time friends, or do what is best for his country?

The prisoner dangles, tied wrist and ankle, from around Aramis' neck.
ATHOS:
My God... Athos, Porthos, and the others gawk at the sight of the Man in the Iron Mask, as Aramis loosens the ropes. As they back away from him, he sees the sky. Endless blue -- and bright.
He shields his eyes.
ARAMIS:
It's all right. Take your time.
Aramis helps him up, and turn him slowly around, to face... The fortress/prison, in the distance.
THE PRISONER'S POV FROM WITHIN THE MASK: A vast vista -- the sky, the sea, and the prison on the island in the middle of it all. The prisoner falls to his knees, and weeps.
ARAMIS:
Athos... He needs a gentle hand.
Athos moves over hesitantly, and puts his hand on the shoulder of the Man in the Iron Mask, who holds his hands against the mask as if to further hide his shame.
INT. THE PRISON - DAY The guards are standing in the cell, looking down at the body now wearing the mask, the man they think was their prisoner.
The guards are quiet, alone.
GUARD 1 You ever wonder who he was?
GUARD 2 No... Yes. But I never asked -- and you better not either.
They wrap the body, still in its mask, in a weighted sack.
EXT. PRISON - DAY The prison's WARDEN GENERAL stands at the wall of the fortress high above the sea and watches as his guards throw off the body, wrapped in canvas weighted with stones. As the corpse makes a long fall and crashes into the sea, the Warden writes a message on a royal scroll: THE UNSEEN PRISONER IS DEAD.
The Warden seals the scroll and hands it to a messenger.
EXT. COUNTRY ESTATE - NIGHT A carriage pulls into a country estate, isolated among vast woodlands silver in the moonlight. Mysterious servants with shielded lanterns converge on the carriage as it stops.
INT. CARRIAGE - NIGHT Athos reaches for his sword, but Aramis stops his hand.
ARAMIS:
Jesuits.
EXT. MANOR HOUSE COURTYARD - NIGHT Aramis emerges quickly, whispering directives to the Jesuits; Athos helps the Man in the Iron Mask from the carriage, his head shrouded by a cloak.
Aramis has a blacksmith waiting; almost before he realizes it the Man in the Iron Mask finds his head placed on an anvil; but as the hammer rises he begins to scream.
MAN IN THE IRON MASK No! Please!
ARAMIS:
What is wrong? We only mean to free you from the mask!
But the prisoner is shaking, and Athos understands why.
ATHOS:
Prison was horrible but it was his home. He's been torn from it by strangers. He's frightened, exhausted -- and the mask is familiar. Let him rest in it tonight, and remove it tomorrow.
ARAMIS:
Excellent, Athos. You have a keen sense of this man.
